If this event took place, out of a perhaps morbid curiosity, what genre(s) did that award winning black author write in? Rather unlikely to be romance given some of the content of this thread so one does tend to wonder.
Admittedly, I didn't realize that Samuel R. Delaney was black until about a year ago. I just thought of him as a author I liked since I read
The Ballad of Beta-2 as part of an Ace Double in the dim past when John W. Campbell still roamed the earth.
